Do You Have Colon Cancer And Require Colorectal Surgery? Find Here

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date December 2, 2019

Colon cancer or in better words, colorectal cancer, is cancer that initially occurs in the large intestine and gradually spreads to other parts if not treated on time. As evident, cancer is the abnormal and unrestrained growth of cells that becomes a tumor when clumped together and further deteriorates the functioning of the body’s immune system. The treatment suitable during the primary stages of colon cancer is colorectal surgery. However, when cancer reaches the last stages, certain treatment like the following are suggested by the medical practitioner:
– Chemotherapy
– Radiation therapy
– Immunotherapy
– Palliative care.

So, how would you find out if you have colon cancer or not? To find out, you need to check for the following symptoms:

• Constant changes in your bowel movements (diarrhea or constipation)
• Blood in the stool or dark stools
• Rectal bleeding
• Thin stools
• Abdominal pain
• A feeling of incomplete bowels or tenesmus
• Gas and bloating
• Weakness and exhaustion
• Cramps in the abdomen
• Unpredicted weight loss
• Unexplained anemia
• Iron deficiency or anemia
• Dyspnoea or shortness of breath.

In extreme cases (final stages) of colon cancer, the symptoms intensify causing trouble to the sufferer. The signs that your colon cancer is inching close to the end stages are as follows:

• Chronic headaches
• Blurry or hazy vision
• Pelvic pain
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Jaundice.

The important thing to ascertain is whether you’re at a risk of developing colon cancer or not. Let’s find out what makes someone more prone to suffer from colon cancer or simply the causes of colon cancer:

1. Overweight or obesity.
2. Old age.
3. Smoking.
4. Diabetes.
5. Overconsumption of red meat.
6. Low-fiber diet.
7. Alcohol consumption.
8. History of colon polyps (cluster of cells present in the colon).
9. Stationary or sedentary lifestyle.
10. Genetics.

Now, the question arises, how would the doctors find out if it’s colon cancer or something else? The diagnostic examination for colon cancer are as follows:

• Physical exam (by pressing on the patient’s abdomen to check for polyps)
• Blood tests (kidney and liver function tests)
• Colonoscopy
• Barium enema X-rays
• CT Scan.

Everything is treatable when diagnosed at an early stage. Open or laparoscopic colorectal surgery can be performed to treat colon cancer. Laparoscopic surgery is also called minimally-invasive surgery. We, at Varanasi Hospital, provide laparoscopic surgery with the help of skilled laparoscopic surgeons.

Can Being On A Crash Diet Results In Gallstones? Let’s Find Out

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date November 25, 2019

Are you starving yourself to facilitate excessive and hasty weight loss? Do you know that your starvation diet can not only land you up to the hospital but also give you troubling gallstones that can disrupt the digestive system. Our renowned laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Manish Jindal comments that rapid and abrupt weight loss is as much as a culprit for blooming gallstones like obesity.

The question is why weight loss is the offender in this case and why we should be concerned about it. The reason being that when you follow a crash diet or to put it more clearly when you choose to starve yourself, your liver works overtime and releases extra cholesterol into the bile juice, further triggering gallstones.

If you are planning to lose weight, then instead of losing weight at one go, you should rather try to shed extra weights slowly but surely and that too by following your doctor’s suggested diet-plan. Some foods increase the advancement of gallstones, so it’s always wise to steer clear of them as much as possible. Eating a healthy diet lowers the possibility of gallstones formation.

We have perfectly established the fact that weight or BMI (Body Mass Index) influences gallstones. People who go for weight loss surgery can also become the victim of these symptomless stones. So it’s always better to have a detailed conversation with your doctor before undergoing bariatric surgery. A diet low in calories is not going to be your best friend when it comes to gallstones. The daily calorie intake for an average man should be no less than 2500 calories a month, for woman, the calorie count should be 2000 kcal in number. These numbers are just a rough estimation as your calorie count depends on other important factors like your age, height, weight, and lifestyle. For instance, if you live a physically active lifestyle, you’ll require more calories to function in your daily life.

We hope we were able to make you understand that crash or fad diets are not as good as it is claimed by certain people. If your gallstones need a gallstone operation, then give Varanasi Hospital the privilege to provide you with a permanent cure. We provide gallbladder stone surgery and laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery and that too with cashless hospitalization.

Why Choose Winter Months For Any Surgical Treatment

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date November 11, 2019

The holy city of Varanasi becomes more beautiful during the months of winter. With beautiful walks to the ghats, listening to mind-soothing Ganga aartis, Varanasi people surely knows how to enjoy winter. But did you know that the cooler months can also prove to be the best time for your operation?

Although there’s no specific time for performing operations, winter season is preferred by a good number of patients for any surgical treatment and even piercings.

Whether it’s general or laparoscopic surgery, the doctors prescribe the surgical procedure by taking certain parameters like the patient’s case history, his or her current condition, and other things into account.

Today, we are sharing with you a few reasons why you should consider cool winter months for your surgical treatment.

No Summer-related Problems

Summers in Varanasi are not so compassionate, as we have dry and humid summers, and we face strong and dry summer winds (called loo). Also, sunstrokes and heatstrokes are common summer problems faced by us.

Little To Moderate Sun Exposure

We often get our daily dose of Vitamin D during winters because the winter sun is warm and it has fewer chances of burning our skin. Surgical wounds are more likely to heal slower during summers as overexposure to the sun rays affects the healing of wounds. Surgical scars and wound heal more quickly during winter months.

Low Temperatures

Winters mean colder months and as we know, low temperatures amplify the healing and recovery process post-surgery. Not everyone has access to air-conditioning system and that makes winter season an ideal time for availing a surgery.

Better Protection To The Surgical Wounds

In winters, we wrap our bodies with multiple layers to feel warm. This also works well for surgical incisions as less expose our surgical wounds during winters without feeling hot, thus providing better protection to the post-surgical scars.

Starting The New Year With Good Health

A surgical procedure is overwhelming for the patient. If you have your laparoscopic surgery done during winters, of course, you’ll heal in no time and can welcome the new year with a big smile.

Happy And Enjoyable Summer

Getting your surgery performed during the cold season is best because it will let you enjoy your summer season without any trouble. Since you have dedicated the entire winter season for your post-surgery recovery, you do not have to worry about any surgery-related issues in summers.

An important thing to note is that just because winter season is considerable better for surgical treatment, it does not mean you should wait till winters in case of an urgent requirement for surgery. If you’re looking for a good hospital to get your surgical treatment, consider Varanasi Hospital as your preferred option. We specialize in laparoscopic surgeries and we have one of the best laparoscopic surgeons in our team. Till then, enjoy the upcoming months of winter.

6 Facts That Prove Laparoscopic Gallbladder Stone Surgery As The Best

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date November 4, 2019

Gallbladder stone surgery or laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed by removing the gall bladder of the patient as a permanent treatment for gall stones. This surgical process can be accomplished by both open and laparoscopic method, but as evident, the laparoscopic approach is considered much safer and beneficial for almost everyone.

As gall stones are a common phenomenon and the only preferred and suitable way to treat them is by undergoing a laparoscopic procedure, so today, we are providing you with some facts on laparoscopic gall bladder stone surgery for your awareness.

Here are facts about laparoscopic cholecystectomy:

Keyhole Surgery For A Reason

There’s a reason we call laparoscopic approach the “minimally-invasive” surgery. It is because the laparoscopic surgeons can perform this surgical procedure with just four small surgical incisions instead of making the usual 6-inch cut as seen in open cholecystectomy.

Discharge Within A Couple Of Days

In case of laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery, short hospitalization is a reality. The patients do get an early discharge which leads to early return to work.

Preserves Cosmetic Appearance

Surely, health comes first before beauty and appearance, but if there’s a surgical method which benefits both your health and appearance, would you not consider it? The reason why laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery is popular is because it does not leave an everlasting and hideous scar on the abdomen. The incision scars disappear in due course of time.

No Recurrence Of Gall Stones

Since gallbladder is not an organ needed for survival, the doctors have no problem removing it if it’s full of gall stones. Once the gallbladder is removed, the bile produced by the liver is directly transferred to the intestines so the doctor recommends a specific diet that can be followed by patients of both laparoscopic cholecystectomies and non-surgical treatments (for example, ESWL, Oral bile acid pills, and Sphincterotomy).

Avoiding Certain Foods

Certain dietary precautions have to be taken after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, for a quick and early recovery.

Inexpensive

Most people find it unbelievable, but it’s a truth that laparoscopic gallbladder stone surgery is more economical than open cholecystectomy. The reasons are as follows:

– shorter hospital stays
– hardly any need for blood transfusion
– fewer spendings on medications.

A Brief Introduction To Laparoscopic Surgery And Its Benefits

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date August 21, 2019

Laparoscopic surgery is substituting the open surgery technique in all around the world, and the picture is very similar in Varanasi as well. For a diverse range of problems, including gall bladder stones, kidney and ureteric stones, various kinds of hernia, surgery of ovary and uterus and also for obesity, the minimally invasive surgical procedure is recommended over the open surgery technique. Laparoscopic surgery can also be carried out for problems related to stomach, liver, pancreas, rectum, and common bile duct.

So, let’s understand how the minimally invasive surgery is carried out, in details.

A few tiny incisions of 5-6 mm are made in the patient’s body during laparoscopic or keyhole surgery. The incisions are used to insert cameras and other instruments inside the cavity of the body, to carry out the procedure. The operation is executed with the help of the tools that offers visuals and movement inside the body. Once the surgery is complete, the instruments are carried out and incisions are closed using stitches.

As we avoid making large incisions through laparoscopic surgery, this procedure is practically scarless, bloodless and painless.

Why Laparoscopic Surgery Is A Better Option Than Open Surgery?

We take pride in choosing a safe and effective surgical procedure since ensuring the utmost care of the patients is our priority. We recommend the best suitable surgery, i.e. laparoscopic surgery, even though we also offer open surgery. We prefer minimally invasive surgery because of its minimally invasive nature, high success rate and which is also painless and scarless.

The keyhole surgery is performed by the doctors of Varanasi Hospital in various medical specialty. routinely. Our doctors have a success rate of 100%, being equipped with all the essential and advanced equipment required for surgery. A patient is discharged within 2-3 days after he/she has undergone laparoscopic/keyhole surgery in Varanasi hospital, (however, it also depends on the other factors such their age, individual case, and complications, if any). The person is able to recover quickly and participate in regular-life activities within a few weeks.

Life after Laparoscopic Surgery– A guide For Every Patient Out There

Post author By Varanasi Hospital
Post date July 19, 2019

Laparoscopic surgery is a rather advanced and more complicated process than open surgery. To undergo laparoscopic surgery, you should go to very experienced doctors or look for the best laparoscopic surgery hospital. Even though the recovery period after this surgery is short, there are a lot of things you should be mindful of, after the surgery. We present some if them, as follows.

1. Don’t skip/overuse medication:

You should take the medication as prescribed by the doctor. Don’t skip any antibiotic just because you think you are getting better. This can lead to severe infection sometimes. Ceasing antibiotics rashly significantly builds your danger of creating antibiotics resistance, not only for that medication as well as others in its group. Overusing (or skipping) painkillers is also not a good idea.

2. No exertion, physical activity or heavy lifting:

Until the doctor gives the green signal, it best to stay away from too much exertion for at least few weeks. You might feel that you are physically fit to lift heavy stuff. But sometimes heavy lifting or excessive straining can pull your muscles in the surgical area.

3. Wear loose clothes post surgery:

Doctors recommend that keeping the incision site uncovered while sleeping or covering it with loose fitted clothes during the day helps in two ways. One, it takes time for the wound to dry even after the dressings are removed. Keeping it covered such that air passes easily dries it up quickly. Also, it is convenient to wear loose clothes, because after the surgery that place will be swollen and painful.

4. Eat well and stay hydrated:

Good food is a very important part of life post surgery. Any type of oily, packaged, and processed food should be avoided. Eating a lot of vegetables and fruits every day will help you recover quickly. This also prevents constipation, which is often associated with any kind of laparoscopic surgery. Staying hydrated by drinking lots of fluids will also help in the same.

5. Don’t miss your checkup:

In most laparoscopic surgery, doctors discharge their patients within 2 days. Then the stitches are removed after a week or two. It is important to go for follow up checkups as well.

After your last checkup, try not to jump back into your stressful routine right away. It is okay to take it easy for a while. Maintain your diet and exercise regularly and work wisely.
